Hi all, I recently noticed a rubber strap hanging from the underside of the car. Its a 2016 model. Its hanging on the passenger side in front of the rear wheel. It was not always like this. I do not know how it happened or when it happened. It hangs to about an inch from the ground. Any ideas...

Thanks for your great advice! Terry

Hi, My 2016 Soul EV has an AC issue. On Friday, it took about 30 mins, 10km until the air coming out of the vent was cold (not measured - according to the driver). On Saturday it was 35C outside and the car sat outside for many hours. The car was very hot inside. Then I used the car and...

thanks! Terry

Hi, Interesting! Note this happens when it's in intermittent mode. When in the ON position it goes back and forth correctly. Of course you want to operate the wiper, it goes from OFF to INT to ON and then from ON to INT to OFF. So when turning off (from on) you go thru INT so it's hard to get...

Hi, My rear wiper is acting funny. When I turn it on in intermittent it goes from the home position to about 135 degrees (when in the driver seat looking in the rear view mirror).. or from 3 o'clock backward to about 10 o'clock and pauses. Then it continues to 9 o'clock (the end position) and...

Hi, Tested the charger last night. Worked perfectly. FYI: When I called Bosch Canada for a repair of the external charger, they said to dispose of it and get a new one. I then opened the charger and found the 2 x LET50 fuses were blown. New ones are about $100 each, I found used ones for $18...

Hi My Bosch EV200 got fried when my OBC failed. Neither Bosch nor Kia will assist with repair/replacement of the Bosch. Any thoughts on that. Any feedback on this charger (Clippercreek AmazingE FAST Level 2, 32 Amp EV Charging station) ? Regards and thanks Terry

Hi, Thanks notfred! I did ask the service rep who is replacing the manager during his absence. He told me no one, and we have to wait until Monday (next) when he returns. LOL...my wife who speaks much better French than I will call tomorrow, the rep is French and his English is very difficult...

Hi, Just called dealer and the service rep indicated the part will not arrive until mid august. Ouch! Again, I asked for a loaner, he said the part has to be back ordered for 5 days to get a loaner. I reminded him that he has the car a week now since June 28. VERY disappointing. He then said...

Hi Kia dealer called back. The OBC will be replaced under warranty. However, there are no replacement parts in Canada, so it has to come from Korea. Still waiting to find out a date. I also called Kia Canada about the Bosch charger. They said I have to speak with the Manager at the dealer...

thanks notfred! Terry

Hi I just spoke to the dealer. They indicated that there was recall (some years ago) for the OBC and mine was fine. Now there saying because the the recall was done, the OBC may not be covered by the warranty. This is crazy! The dealer will call me tomorrow after everything is sorted with Kia...

Hi all, The Soul EV went in today for repair. I got a call from the Kia dealer. They checked the car and they indicated the charger within the Kia is dead and needs replacing. They then told me it is not under warranty and they would contact Kia Canada to try to get a good will replacement as...
